Nathalie Baena examined our holdings of Neotropical Tridactylidae (pygmy mole crickets). Most are less than 1 cm long. She is working on the systematics of this mostly Neotropical group and is from Colombia. She found our collection, with its type material and series of specimens from important localities to be extremely useful in her study.
